Have your say
Welcome to North East Lincolnshire Council’s ‘Have Your Say’ page.
This page will help you find and take part in consultations that interest you. We consider what you tell us and use this, alongside other information, to inform our recommendations and decisions on the related project.
What is a consultation?
A consultation is a process of the public providing their views and feedback on a proposal to consider in the decision-making. Some consultations have to be undertaken as part of ‘official guidance’ within specific projects or pieces of work. Consultations and surveys are also used to seek more general insight and feedback from our communities on certain topics or subject areas.
How does a consultation work?
No two consultation exercises are the same, and how to consult on a particular area/issue or proposed policy/service change or development will be based on each specific project or piece of work.
How can I take part in a consultation?
Consultations are mainly undertaken via online/paper surveys and further insight and engagement can be conducted through focus groups, one-on-ones and pop-up events where necessary.
What are the ‘About You’ questions for?
At the end of some consultations and surveys, you will see an ‘optional’ set of questions titled ‘About You’. We are often asked why we ask questions when the survey might not seem to have an obvious link to them. The reason is it helps us understand who we are reaching with our engagement and if we have gaps (for example age groups, communities of NE Lincs, etc). This could help us look to change how we reach out or share surveys and consultations on future projects and work, hence why we appreciate you taking the time to complete this section.
Not just consultations
We’ve explained what a ‘consultation’ is but that’s not the only type of engagement activity undertaken. This page houses surveys too, from both us and on behalf of partner organisations. We also undertake a variety of other engagement work, such as focus groups, pop-up events and one-on-ones to name a few. We look to ensure the method of engagement fits with the work we are supporting.
Open consultations and surveys
Each year, North East Lincolnshire Council is required to survey parents and carers to understand the childcare needs within the local authority. This includes, but is not limited to, funded provision for under 4s and wraparound childcare provision for primary aged children.
As part of the survey, it is important that North East Lincolnshire Council can gain a range of views regarding childcare within the local authority and we would like to hear from parents and carers who use childcare and from those who do not use childcare specifically where there are barriers to provision.
To take part in this survey please visit Parent Childcare Survey 2025.
This survey will close on 31st August 2025
For more information on the topics within this survey (Childcare, Wraparound Childcare, etc) please visit Childcare and funding for not only a host of useful information but the contact details for the Families Information Services, if you have further queries about the survey or local childcare in general.
North East Lincolnshire Council is seeking feedback from residents for a proposed introduction of a cycle lane on a section of Park Drive and improvements on the adjacent Weelsby Road controlled crossing.

This will close on Friday 18th July 2025.
